Frisco RoughRiders News Release
FRISCO, TX - The Frisco RoughRiders are proud to announce a new partnership with Acute Kids Urgent Care for the 2010 season.
Acute Kids Urgent Care was founded in 2003 by Drs. Kerry Johnson and Gary Gerlacher. Acute Kids specializes in urgent care for children, and is open weekday evenings from 4:30 pm to 11:00 pm, and on weekends from noon to 8:00 pm. Children are always seen by a pediatrician, and the average visit takes about 30 minutes from check-in to discharge.
"We are excited and honored to partner with such a worthwhile organization," Frisco RoughRiders President and General Manager Scott Sonju said. "The RoughRiders share similar values with Acute Kids Care and are proud to be associated with such an important healthcare option in the North Dallas community."
The first location opened in Frisco, with additional locations in Plano (2005), McKinney (2006), Flower Mound (2007), and Allen (2008). Acute Kids is one of the largest networks of pediatric urgent care centers in the United States and in 2009 will see about 50,000 children in the North Dallas area. In addition to common illnesses and injuries, Acute Kids is able to take care of lacerations, broken bones, and dehydration. A summary of the visit is faxed to the private pediatrician and the prescription is faxed to the pharmacy of your choice. Every exam room features a satellite television and child friendly mural.
"The Frisco RoughRiders provide one of the great family experiences in the North Dallas area," Acute Kids Urgent Care CEO Gary Gerlacher said. "We are excited to establish a presence in the ballpark, and partner with such a dynamic organization in the community."
